one indicator - Leading with shoulder to attack with forcible contact at the head

Obvious hit to the head with the shoulder pad.  Forcible?  from what I've seen since this rule was written, there doesn't need to be much force.  The helmet did move back from the impact. 

It was also obvious that the QB was sliding and going to the ground.  Especially at the time of impact of the hit.

_________________________________________________ ________________

IMO, it wasn't a real hard hit, but I assumed it would be called from past rulings.
I'd like for there to be a hard impact or show of intent to eject a player.
I don't like the rule the way it's written.  I'd be ok with the 15 yard penalty and first down, but I think ejecting the player in this instance is unnecessary.

I just feel that the way the rule is written and the way it has been enforced all season, there was VERY little chance of the appeal being successful

There was targeting on the second two-point attempt, against Mertz. Helmet-to-helmet.

Not called.

there's no excuse to miss those calls, there's supposedly a guy in the booth that can check for those on reply

Minnesota Golden Gophers (4-4, 7-4) at Wisconsin Badgers (4-4, 6-5)
3:30 - Madison, WI - ESPN
We were so close to this game being so much more than pride.  If Minnesota and Nebraska had been able to finish last week, this would be the Gophers playing for potentially a Big Ten West title, against a Wisconsin team playing for bowl eligibility.  Instead Minnesota is eliminated from contention for Indy, and Wisconsin is already bowl eligible.  There is plenty of pride on the line since Minnesota has won 2 of the last 4, since ending Wisconsin's 14 year domination of the series.  Now Minnesota seeks their first retention of the Axe since 1994, which was also in Madison.  They've only won once in Camp Randall since.  The Over/Under on this one is 34.5, which seems way too low to me.  Yes, Minnesota and Iowa combined for just 23 points last week, and Wisconsin and Nebraska for just 29, but I think the underlying numbers suggest those scores probably should have been higher.  The Gophers gave away at least 10 points with costly turnovers, and Mo Ibrahim ran at will.  If you have one player go for 260+ yards, putting up just 10 points feels like a fluke.  Wisconsin's run defense has started to play better recently, but they've been exposed at times this year.  You would think becoming as one dimensional as Minnesota has been since Tanner Morgan went out would make them easier to defend, but that certainly hasn't held true the past two weeks, with Ibrahim running for 441 yards and 4 touchdowns (his first and third highest rushing totals of the season) without Morgan.  But even with that, it wasn't enough against Iowa, because Athan Kaliakmanis has been a complete non-factor passing the ball.  He has been 14-28 for 151 yards, no touchdowns, and 1 interception in his two starts.  There were rumors than Graham Mertz wasn't even making the trip to Lincoln last week.  He did, and took every snap, but I'm not sure if that's a good thing.  Mertz has failed to complete even 50% of his passes in three consecutive games, and has only thrown for over 175 yards once in his past 5 games.  This one should be ugly, and if Morgan is back and healthy, I'll give the Gophers the edge.  But assuming he's not, I'll take the home team in a coin flip rivalry game.
WISCONSIN 23, MINNESOTA 21

That's a fair assessment.

Not having Herbig in the first half is HUGE for Minnesota though.

If Mertz can get the ball to his TE he's going to have a huge night.

does not have to be a pass catching TE they will be open and if the QB can get them the ball somewhere close they will get big big plays
i have seen OL catch wide open balls, if they just believe they will get big plays with their TE's

No Tanner Morgan.

Sounds like Braelon Allen might not play, but the good news is, unlike last season, is that the Badgers have other healthy options. Last year they had nothing, and Allen was beat up.

My childhood Badger friends are screaming at each other in disagreement on this.
